Danny Boy Whiskey, Northern Ireland

While in Belfast to attend Bizcamp I attended a dinner at which a relatively new whiskey was being offered for tasting. While I have spoken with Real Ale/Beer brewers before I had never had the chance to talk to someone responsible for a spirit.

Peter Lavery, the man behind Danny Boy whiskey (and also a cream liquer) told me about the journey so far and his partnership with Cooley Distillery in Ireland. He was a great character to talk to and despite my preference for bourbon I can recommend the whiskey to anyone with a love of Irish.
